Along with the launch of the paid DLC, you also get a free update available with many new features.
1) Ancient Hunts
Ancient Hunts are procedurally-generated end-game challenges that revolve around the Nether. To take-on the Ancient Hunts, you will require sacrifice items and Enchantment Points that will transform the way your mission progresses. If you desire that mega-rare and brand-new Gilded gear, you will need to face the Ancient Hunts and destroy the elusive Ancient mobs.
2) Gilded Gear
Gilded gears are portions of the free update known as ultra-rare items with an additional Enchantment slot built-in, making them one of the most powerful elements in the gameplay. To achieve these end-game level articles, you will need to face the Ancient Hunts and trip to the dangerous Nether.
3) Gold Currency and Piglin Merchant
The trip to the Nether would not be complete without a visit to Minecraft’s pig-headed mobs. Although these battle-loving mobs concentrate on the fight, gold is something that they love most of all: gold. As soon as you take your first piece of gold, the Piglin merchant will establish a shop in the secret cave near the camp. You can trade your gold for items and rare Gilded gear.

FAU-G is a survival game, developed by Indian-based company Studio nCore Games, which was launched in January 2021 on the backdrop of ban on Chinese gaming applications like PUBG: Mobile. As soon as FAU-G was launched, several people downloaded the game. However, some were dissatisfied that the game does not offer interesting multiplayer features like Team Deathmatch, Battle Royale, and Battle Pass. Studio nCore Games, recently announced that soon they will be releasing the multiplayer mode of Fau-G. So, what all will be new and when will FAU-G multplayer mode release?
In This Article
When will FAU-G Team Deathmatch be released?
FAU-G game currently features only a campaign mode set in the Galwan Valley map that is a single-player mode. The linear gameplay lasts only a few hours and offers an old-fashioned brawler system accompanied by hand-to-hand combat. However, in the menu, you can get 5V5 Team Deathmatch and Free For All mode that many are waiting to be added to the game.
According to Ganesh Hande, COO of nCore, “The story mode will be the first one. And then we are hoping that over six to eight months intermediately we will be launching more features and updates. We will most likely be looking at a different map for that, but it is too early to reveal any details around that.”
We can expect guns and other multiplayer modes of Fau-G like Team Deathmatch, Free For All, and Battle Royale shall be available on different maps. However, the company has not revealed the exact dates for the arrival of these modes. Industry insiders close to Gadget Bridge have revealed that, the modes will take anywhere between 3-6 months as a lot of R&D is left.
When will FAU-G Team Deathmatch be released?
What can we expect in FAU-G’s multiplayer mode?
Currently, FAU-G does not have weapons because of the storyline and its depiction of true incidents. The game does not feature any guns due to the India-China agreement related to avoidance of arms in Galwan Valley. Studio nCore Games could soon include weapons in the game. However, the Galwan Valley will still not see the usage of arms and it will be a segment of some other map.
FAU-G will also be adding a battle pass that will follow a kind of monetisation approach to offer users exclusive rewards like character and gun skins as they progress in certain tiers.
Akshay Kumar in his tweet mentioned that players will be able to team up with their friends and participate in battles as a squad. Studio nCore Games had earlier announced that the Team Deathmatch will have two teams with five players each and soon they will release new maps for players to face-off on.
What can we expect in FAU-G’s multiplayer mode?
To download FAU-G, the players will need to visit the Google Play Store and look for ‘FAU-G’. If their devices have compatible hardware and drivers to run the game, they can click on Download to save the game on their phones. The best part is that FAU-G doesn’t ask you to sign-in to play the game but does require an active and steady internet connection.

In an era when brands are competing against each other to offer the latest specifications, Samsung has decided to enhance the perspective that other brands often tend to evade. That is long-term software support. Samsung Electronics recently declared that it will be elongating the software security support to its smartphones that were launched in 2019 and later. These devices will now get four years of security updates including Samsung’s Flagship S, Z, Fold series, Note series, the A-series, and M-series.

Are security updates of Samsung the same as Android OS updates?
It is important to acknowledge that these are security updates for Samsung and not Android OS updates. Although you will not receive the subsequent four Android variants on your smartphone, four years of security patches will still be important for keeping your device secure for a long time. However, the recurrence of updates for all the compatible devices may not be identical. While you may get monthly security patch updates, others may receive updates in three months.
According to Seungwon Shin, VP & Head of Security Team at Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics, “At Samsung, our number one priority is offering the best and most secure mobile experience to our users, and we’re constantly optimizing the security of our products and services. Mobile devices play such an important role in our lives, it’s only natural that we want to hold onto them longer. That’s why, thanks to the latest technology advancements, we’re committing to securing Galaxy devices for even longer, so that everything that should be kept protected stays protected.”

The test also includes graphical examinations and is harmonious with all the latest standards and technologies. There is also stress analysis for knowing how efficiently a specific platform will provide a resource-intensive website.
Here are the top three winners of our tests.
1) Puffin Web Browser by CloudMosa, Inc.

Realme Narzo 30 Pro, the latest model in the Narzo series, is launched in India. The Realme Narzo 30 Pro is a rebranded model of the Realme Q2 that was launched in October 2020. It comes with a starting price of Rs 16,999. If you are thinking of buying it right away, please restrain yourself a little bit and go through the following points, as there are much better companies to go for. Here is why we think Realme Narzo 30 Pro is not the perfect choice at this price point, as the company is claiming it to be.
In This Article
1) Processor could have been better
The Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G comes with a MediaTek MT6873 Dimensity 800U 5G chipset. Other brands like Moto and Samsung are releasing their mid-range smartphone with powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. When subjected to resource-demanding tasks like gaming, the Narzo 30 Pro 5G will surely lag behind the other smartphones. Moreover, 5G must run on a powerful processor, which is missing in this smartphone.
2) No advancement in camera
On the rear, Realme Narzo 30 Pro has a triple-camera setup that includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.8 lens, 8-megapixel secondary sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2-megapixel macro shooter. The front camera setup lies inside a punch-hole cutout situated on the top left corner of the screen. You get a 16-megapixel selfie camera sensor at the front. There is nothing new about camera specification. It has the same set of front and rear cameras as you get in Narzo 20 Pro. So where is the upgrade?
3) The battery won’t last long
The Realme Narzo 30 Pro comes with a 5,000mAh battery. The 5G feature will ensure that the battery drains out even faster. In fact, Samsung offers a higher mAh battery at a cheaper price. Motorola gives you the same power battery at half the price of Narzo 30 Pro. Thus, when it comes to power, we were expecting at least a 6,000 mAh battery.
The battery won’t last long
4) In an era of AMOLED, who wants IPS LCD?
The Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G comes with a standard 6.5-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 90.7 percent screen-to-body ratio. The panel operates at full-HD+ resolution. Does it sound amazing? No, because you are getting an IPS LCD that is not capable of delivering the quality what an AMOLED screen can offer with the same refresh rate. Samsung offers a Super AMOLED display at a similar rate. So, if picture quality is a priority for you, Narzo 30 Pro is not something you should go ahead with.
In an era of AMOLED, who wants IPS LCD?
5) Nothing new in the memory
The 4GB RAM 64GB storage model of the Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G will cost you Rs. 16,999 while the 8GB RAM 128GB memory configuration model is priced at Rs 19,999. At the max, you are getting 64 GB + 256 GB expandable storage. This is exactly what Narzo 20 Pro offers. There is no improvement in the memory department of Narzo 30 Pro 5G. Moreover, Motorola offers you 64GB storage at half the price. Thus, spending money for zero change is not worthwhile when in the recent future we expect some great advancement in the storage segment from its competition in the same price segment.
Bonus argument for not buying Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G
The user interface is the window through which you interact with your smartphone. The interface of this Realme smartphone looks obsolete and dated. If you buy it, you may face inconvenience in handling it, at least for a while. When compared to Samsung One’s UI, Xioami or Motorola’s Stock Android experience, Realme Narzo 30 Pro 5G is not what you should seek.
